6. S. F. Molaeezadeh-31 may 2008Gene expression modeling through positive Boolean functions 6 Biological characteristics of gene expression data Expression Profiles  a collection of gene expression signatures Expression signatures  a cluster of coordinately expressed genes

7. S. F. Molaeezadeh-31 may 2008Gene expression modeling through positive Boolean functions 7 Characteristics of gene expression signatures Differential expression and co-expression Gene expression signatures as a whole rather than single genes contain predictive information. Genes may belong to different gene expression signatures at the same time Expression signatures may be independent of clinical parameters Different gene expression profiles may share signatures and may differ only for few signatures Differential expression and co-expression Gene expression signatures as a whole rather than single genes contain predictive information. Genes may belong to different gene expression signatures at the same time Expression signatures may be independent of clinical parameters Different gene expression profiles may share signatures and may differ only for few signatures

9. S. F. Molaeezadeh-31 may 2008Gene expression modeling through positive Boolean functions 9 Modeling Issues 1.Expression profiles may be characterized as a set of gene expression signatures 2.Expression signatures are interpreted in the literature as a set of coexpressed genes 3.the model should permit to define arbitrary signatures 4.Genes may belong to different signatures at the same time.

10. S. F. Molaeezadeh-31 may 2008Gene expression modeling through positive Boolean functions 10 The number of genes within an expression signature usually vary from few units to few hundreds. the model should reproduce the variation of gene expression data. Not all the genes within a signature may be expressed in all the samples. Different expression profiles may differ only for few signatures The model should be sufficiently flexible to allow different ways of constructing an expression profile.
